EPILOGUE

Hey guys,
               Sorry I couldn't post the epilogue on time due to my exams and practicals...Today I got free for sometime, so thought to complete this story first...
___________________________________
LEAP OF 5 YEARS:
In this five years, a lot changed but something which remained constant was kaira's love for eachother...Kairav was now 12 years old and akshu was 7 years old...kairav was in 7th standard while akshu was in 2nd standard..
They both loved their parents and their baby brother aarav a lot... aarav was 5 years old now and went to kindergarten...he was the apple of eye of everyone in the house...but kartik and naira always treated three of them equally...The scene starts from kartik sitting on the bed, holding his head...naira came with the breakfast as the whole family was not at home except them and their kids...It was Sunday morning..

NAIRA:(keeping the tray on the table and sitting in front of him) Kartik...kya hua baby..(cupping his face) headache ho rha h tumhe...mujhe bulaya kyu nhi... mein oil massage kr deti naa..(caressing his hair as he hugged her)

KARTIK:(snuggling into her) plss mere pas rho jaan...I..n.ee.d..u...(crying slightly)

NAIRA:(caressing his back) kartik
...kya hua tumhe..tum ro kyu rhe ho...kisine kuch kaha tumse..bolo naa mendak...(worriedly)

KARTIK:(breaking the hug) Naira.a..p.ls...y.ah.a..u.p.er...a.ao...n.a.a...m.uj.h.e..c.udd.l.e.s...c.ha.hi.ye..(crying silently)

Naira nodded and came up, sitting beside him...he hugged her, snuggling into her and told her yesterday's incident when he went to akshu's room and read her diary in which she wrote that her papa didn't loved her the same way now as he used to do before...Akshu wrote that how much left out she felt when her papa scolded her as aarav got hurt due to her two days ago... from that day only, she stopped talking much to anyone...naira nd kartik tried to talk to her, but she would make up an excuse and keep herself busy in her studies and music...kairav had gone for a school trip for 2 days so he was not at home...

After telling all this, kartik cried badly thinking that he failed in becoming a good father to his daughter, his princess...naira was shocked to know that akshu had so much hidden in her heart...

NAIRA:(kissing his hair and rubbing his back) bss..bss..bss... shh...chup hojao kartik...mujhe pta h ki tum apni princess se kitna pyar krte ho...tum toh kairav aur aarav se bhi zyada akshu se pyar krte ho...hnaa..(cupping his face and kissing his forehead, he nodded sniffing) Nhi kartik...tum toh mere strong mendak ho naa...rona nhi baby..
(Wiping his tears) hum dono mil ke akshu se baat krenge...use yeh realize krayenge ki papa apni princess se sbse zyada pyar krte h
...akshu bachpan se tumse zyada close h kartik aur tumhare liye possessive bhi h, isliye jb tumne uski baat sune bina use daanta toh use bura lgga...(wrapping her arms around him as he cuddled into her) abhi akshu so rhi h...hum thodi der tkk jaa kr usse baat krenge...hmm..(caressing his face)

Kartik nodded and hugged her more tightly, snuggling into her...
She fed him breakfast after sometime and then they went to kaira's room to find her crying, hugging her teddy tightly missing her papa...kartik laid on the bed beside her nd backhugged her, while naira waited on the door....

KARTIK:(kissing her cheeks) Papa ki yaad aa rhi h, pr papa toh yhi h naa princess...aapke pas..shh...bss bachaa..chup hojao...
Papa se itna gussa ho aap ki unko huggy bhi nhi kroge...

Akshu got up, getting out of his arms and sat on the couch ignoring him...kartik felt broken as his princess was crying due to him...naira saw him sobbing silently, laying on the bed...akshu ran to naira and hugged her, asking her what happened to her dad...naira told him everything and she realized that she misunderstood her papa...she ran to kartik and caressed his hair as he was crying...kartik looked up at her as she said sorry...he got up and hugged akshu tightly, pulling his princess in his lap...
